Creativity Defined

Gapingvoid has put out the single best definition of creativity I’ve ever seen: he simply definites it as, “when work and play become the same thing”.
Brilliant.
I can think of some exceptions to this — namely the use of the word “work”. Work implies that the output is for the purpose of making money, and I’m not sure that’s a good prerequisite. But overall it’s the best defnition I’ve ever heard.

I don’t know about that…I know that some accountants find work and play the same, but I’d hardly call them creative (unless they worked for Enron).
